Pros
Meet celebrities - you can meet people coming in for the podcast Some cool coworkers - especially if you're into politics Not going anywhere - the company will be around, the brand is growing despite the negatives of actually working there.
Cons
I would highly recommend staying away from this place. If you follow the content and are interested because of that, consider that everyone else writing reviews joined for that same reason, many moving across the country to work at VT, and despite that, it has the highest turnover of any company I’ve heard of. Vibe: feels like an Indian call center more than an innovative startup, seriously Turnover: HIGH - average tenure is about 3 months even in creative and leadership positions (CFO, CMO, etc.), people disappear frequently with no notice Leadership: complete absence of good leaders which is really what holds this place back, there are no leaders here I would want to work for Culture: hard work, no appreciation, employees are expendable, no collaboration, high stress, low pay, no trust There is a big difference between what Pat says about running a company and how he runs his own company. I was shocked when I read his book because it is the complete opposite of what happens at VT. Like everyone, I joined because I like the content and stayed hoping they could turn the culture around but after a year I saw no progress. Seriously, stay away from this place, or join if you have a good backup plan in place once you see how crazy it is.
